Era: 2020s

East London Japanese rope / shibari studio at Cable Street Studios. Official Aphilia pages present the space as an intimate studio for body-centric Japanese rope practice, emotional exchange and physical dialogue, with an ethos of radical tenderness, fierce compassion, vulnerability, empathy and safety. Public programming includes private classes with studio owner Conor Aphilia, multiple-date beginner classes, a weekly Wednesday Rope Jam, Aibunawa study sessions and 2026 salon / performance listings through TicketTailor. Aibunawa / Yukimura wording and guest-event names are treated as programme context, not as lineage or broad collaborator relationships.
